In this free practice, you will find a test laboratory in a braided steel cable factory, in which, by means of stress tests, the breaking loads are determined. In this practice it is possible to configure the mass to be lifted, the angle and the tension supported by the cables, in order to find the equilibrium point of the system. For this, it is necessary to add the forces in each of the axes.
